The tablet is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz cortex A7 processor, and is said to deliver 11 hours of smooth HD video playback. The screen is a 10.1-inch WXGA display (1280 x 800) and is designed to deliver accurate colours from wide viewing angles.

The Iconia A3 also debuts Acer’s IntelliSpin technology that expands the tablet’s screen image rotation feature, so even when lying flat, the screen image will rotate to match the user’s orientation when turned.
